Enterprise Management Server only.
You can run Windows scheduled tasks that:
Import packages into the Software Manager database from the share point
directory.
Refresh package subscriptions.
To run these tasks, schedule them in the Wise Task Scheduler. The tasks run from the
server and update information in the Software Manager database that is associated with
that server. The tasks run in the background with a specified user account.
Note
The Wise Task Scheduler is not available in client installations of Wise Package Studio.
Note
If an error is encountered while running these tasks, a message is logged in the
ImportServer.log file and the task continues with the next package. The
ImportServer.log file is created in the Wise Package Studio\Import Server directory.
Requirements
Wise Package Studio must be installed on the server that will run the tasks. The
tasks run on a single server for the share point directory and Software Manager
database associated with that server.
To run the tasks on multiple Software Manager databases, install Wise Package
Studio and schedule the tasks on the server associated with each database.
